In Boston, at least, I'm seeing significant cultural changes. It's gotten much, much quieter, and meetings are all going online.

I've seen many tech companies in the Boston area announce employees can (or must) work from home, since the governor of Massachusetts declared a state of emergency on Tuesday and encouraged such actions. All governors should do likewise.

Admittedly, the Biogen conference was... a bit of a fuck-up. But yes, all our universities are sending their kids home, white-collar workplaces are moving towards WFH policies, etc. I've been WFH since earlier this week myself, and I went shopping for food and soap with my wife Tuesday night.
